History — Culinarian
Showing revision from 10 Sep 2026, 21:40 by Culinarian Move (#178).
Culinarian is a crafting discipline available to all classes from the Craft menu. Culinarians cook food for you (long, gentle buffs, pitched below the Alchemist's potion of the same band) and Pet Food — specialised meals that grow your pet's four core stats and determine its evolution path. Unlike a simple power meter, the Culinarian system works like a companion nurturing game: what you feed shapes what your pet becomes.
The Four Pet Stats
Every pet has four stats that grow from feeding. Pet Level (0–100) is derived automatically: level = floor(total stat points ÷ 5).
| Stat | Effect |
|---|---|
| ◆ Might | Increases raw damage output (scales with Tamer's SPI) |
| ▲ Speed | Increases hit rate (up to +20%) and critical chance (up to +12%) |
| ■ Fortitude | Increases armour piercing from 40% bypass up to 90% |
| ★ Arcana | When dominant (>35% of total), pet scales with INT instead of SPI |
Pet Evolution
At level milestones your pet evolves into a new form based on its dominant stat. The form name changes how the pet is described in combat and in your pet panel.
| Level | Might | Speed | Fortitude | Arcana | Balanced |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–9 | Hatchling (all forms) | ||||
| 10–29 | Ravager Pup | Swift Cub | Bulwark Cub | Arcane Cub | Wild Cub |
| 30–59 | Ravager | Stalker | Guardian | Familiar | Wild Beast |
| 60–99 | Alpha Ravager | Phantom Stalker | Iron Guardian | Arcane Familiar | Ancient Beast |
| 100 | Warlord | Shadowblade | Fortress | Spellweave | Primordial |
A stat is considered dominant when it exceeds 35% of your pet's total stat points. If no stat clears that threshold the pet takes the Balanced form instead.
Culinarian Skill
Like all crafting disciplines, Culinarian has a skill from 0 to 100. Every successful cook increases your skill. Higher skill unlocks more powerful recipes.
Cooking a Meal
- Open the Craft menu and select the Culinarian tab.
- Recipes you meet the skill requirement for are shown in full; locked recipes appear greyed out with the required skill level.
- Ensure you have the required gathered resources in your resource inventory.
- Click Cook on the desired recipe. The ingredients are consumed and the pet food is added to your item inventory.
Feeding Your Pet
- Open the Craft menu and select the Culinarian tab to cook food.
- Open your Pet panel and click a food item to feed it. Stat gains are permanent and cumulative.
- At level 100 the pet has reached its pinnacle and regular feeding stops — only the Tier VI Elixir of Rebirth (skill 100) can still be served, resetting the pet to be raised anew down a different path.
Any class can craft and carry pet food — only Tamers can feed it. Trade food with Tamer guild-mates to help them level their pets faster.
Meals for Adventurers
Every meal is a 30-minute buff to one stat, deliberately weaker than the Alchemist’s potion of the same skill band — a stew at skill 0 is +4% for 30 minutes against a Minor Draught’s +8% for five. Meals and potions stack: they are separate lanes and their values add. Within the food lane a stronger meal replaces a weaker one and a weaker meal is refused unspent; eating the same meal again simply restarts its timer. Eat from your bag or from the Quick Consumables panel.
| Meal | Effect | Ingredients | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ◆ Skill 0 | |||
| Baked Shore Catch | +4% ACC | Ocean Fish ×2, Shore Shell ×1 | Salt-baked in its own shell. Clears the head and steadies the hand. |
| Root and Barley Mash | +4% DEF | Soil ×2, Forest Wood ×1 | Peasant food, and none the worse for it. You feel harder to move. |
| Traveller's Stew | +4% STR | Soil ×2, Marsh Bug ×2 | Thick, brown, and honest. It sits heavy and it keeps you swinging. |
| ◆ Skill 5 | |||
| Field Ration | +5% DEF | Wild Grain ×3, Root Vegetable ×2 | Grain and roots pressed into a brick. Nobody enjoys one; everybody carries one. |
| Grilled Perch | +5% STR | River Perch ×2, Coal ×1 | Charred over coals on the bank and eaten off the stick. It puts weight behind the arm. |
| Pan-Seared Mackerel | +5% ACC | Sea Mackerel ×2, Coal ×1 | Skin down, hot pan, no fuss. Sharp on the tongue, and sharper on the aim. |
| Shore Perch Stew | +5% DEF | Shore Perch ×2, Coal ×1 | Boiled up with whatever the tide left behind. Sits like ballast, and you take a hit better for it. |
| ◆ Skill 15 | |||
| Glacier Broth | +6% INT | Ice Jewel ×3, River Pearl ×2 | Served so cold it aches. The thoughts that follow are very clear. |
| Harvest Loaf | +6% SPI | Amber Barley ×4, Wild Grain ×4 | Baked the same morning the barley came in. The smell alone does half the work. |
| Hearty Game Stew | +6% STR | Wild Game Meat ×4, Hare Meat ×3 | A day of hunting in one pot, with no part of it wasted. You stand up stronger than you sat down. |
| Hunter's Breakfast | +6% STR | Ocean Fish ×3, Soil ×3, Marsh Bug ×2 | Everything in the pan at once, eaten standing up before dawn. |
| Skewered Marsh Grubs | +6% DEX | Marsh Bug ×4, Forest Wood ×2 | Better than it sounds. Crisp outside, and it does wonders for the footwork. |
| ◆ Skill 20 | |||
| Coral Snapper Bisque | +6% SPI | Coral Snapper ×1, Blue Herring ×2 | Strained twice, and the colour of a reef at sunset. Something in it steadies you. |
| Golden Trout Feast | +6% EXP | Golden Trout ×1, Silver Dace ×2, Coal ×1 | A whole gold-scaled trout laid on for one person. You notice more of the day afterwards. |
| Rock Mullet Roast | +6% DEF | Rock Mullet ×1, Saltfish ×2, Coal ×1 | Baked in its own salt crust and cracked open at the table. Armour from the inside out. |
| ◆ Skill 25 | |||
| River Rice Bowl | +7% INT | River Rice ×4, Watercress ×3 | Terrace rice with a little green on the top. Plain, and it leaves the mind uncluttered. |
| Smoked Fowl Platter | +7% ACC | Fowl Meat ×4, Salt Grass ×2 | Hung over green wood until the smoke took. Picked apart with the fingers, and it steadies them. |
| ◆ Skill 30 | |||
| Ember-Seared Cut | +8% STR | Volcanic Rock ×3, Soil ×4, Marsh Bug ×3 | Cooked on a stone still hot from the caldera. Rare in the middle, always. |
| Merchant's Platter | +6% Gold | Sand Gem ×3, Ocean Fish ×3, Shore Shell ×2 | Arranged to impress. You find yourself haggling rather better afterwards. |
| Scholar's Supper | +6% EXP | Old Relic ×3, Ice Jewel ×3, Forest Wood ×2 | Eaten one-handed over an open book. The lesson sticks better on a full stomach. |
| ◆ Skill 40 | |||
| Crystal Bass Tartare | +9% INT | Crystal Bass ×1, River Perch ×3 | Sliced thin enough to read through. The cold clarity of it goes straight to the head. |
| Deep Sea Chowder | +9% SPI | Deep Tuna ×1, Sea Mackerel ×3 | Thick with things pulled from below the light. It warms further down than it ought to. |
| ◆ Skill 45 | |||
| Frost Elk Roast | +9% SPI | Frost Elk Meat ×3, Winter Turnip ×3 | It came in frozen through and left the fire barely tamed. Warms the resolve as much as the hands. |
| Serpent Fillet | +9% DEX | Serpent Meat ×3, Emberpepper ×2 | Peppered hard and cooked fast, the way the thing moved. Some of that quickness carries over. |
| ◆ Skill 50 | |||
| Deepwater Feast | +10% SPI | Ocean Fish ×5, River Pearl ×3, Shore Shell ×3 | Course after course of things pulled from very deep water. You feel harder to kill. |
| Goldenroot Broth | +10% EXP | Goldenroot ×2, Icecap Grain ×3, Lotus Root ×2 | Simmered until the root gives up its colour. Everything after it tastes of paying attention. |
| Ironroot Roast | +10% DEF | Forest Wood ×5, Volcanic Rock ×3, Soil ×4 | Slow-roasted for most of a day. Whatever it does to you, it lasts. |
| ◆ Skill 55 | |||
| Titan Gourd Stew | +10% STR | Titan Gourd ×2, Vine Melon ×5, Jungle Fungus ×4 | One gourd, four people to lift it, and stew enough for the rest of the week. |
| ◆ Skill 60 | |||
| Dragon Eel Elixir | +11% STR | Dragon Eel ×1, Deep Tuna ×2 | Eel reduced all night to something dark and glossy. Half a spoon and you feel it in the shoulders. |
| Jade Koi Broth | +11% SPI | Jade Koi ×1, Pearl Grouper ×2 | Pale green and almost clear, from a fish older than the cook. Taken slowly, and in silence. |
| Prime Cut Banquet | +11% STR | Prime Cut ×2, Wild Game Meat ×5, Root Vegetable ×3 | The best of the kill, laid on for a table of people who earned a share of it. |
| Rainbow Arowana Sashimi | +11% EXP | Rainbow Arowana ×1, Golden Trout ×2 | Laid out in the order of its own colours. Eating it feels like being taught something. |
| ◆ Skill 70 | |||
| Banquet of the Deep Vault | +10% EXP | Old Relic ×6, Ice Jewel ×5, Sand Gem ×4, Dungeon Core ×1 | A full table laid in a place no table belongs. You will remember every bite, and everything else. |
| Caldera Grand Roast | +12% STR | Volcanic Rock ×6, Soil ×6, Ocean Fish ×4, Dungeon Core ×1 | The whole beast, over the whole fire, for the whole company. |
| ◆ Skill 75 | |||
| Alpha Trophy Feast | +13% EXP | Alpha Trophy ×1, Dire Hide ×2, Prime Cut ×2 | The pack leader served whole, with everything it had been eating. You learn something from it. |
| Everbloom Confection | +13% EXP | Everbloom Seed ×1, Sacred Lotus ×1, Goldenroot ×3 | Sugar-work around a seed that will not stop flowering. Ruinous, and you remember it for days. |
Culinarian, Alchemy and Runecrafting are instant disciplines — no forging session, no quality roll. The bench still teaches skill per craft.
Pet Food Recipes
Each food biases different stats. Higher tiers give more total stat points per feeding and level the pet faster. Tier 5 recipes require boss materials from dungeons.

Shore Shell is a gathering resource found in coastal and beach areas — watch for gathering points near Ocean tiles. It is not listed in the standard gathering table.
Focusing one stat produces the strongest specialised pet, but a balanced distribution (no stat above 35%) unlocks the Balanced evolution line. INT-heavy Tamers benefit greatly from an Arcana-dominant pet (Familiar line), which scales off Intelligence instead of Spirit.
